MMA Forum Official Top 10 Rankings

So here's the deal. We had paid members rank their Top 10 in each Division, HW to LW. With a set scoring system, we compiled their Rankings and gave them a point value. The fighter with the highest point total became the #1 fighter and so on. The number in parenthesis next to each fighter is the # of Points they received.

-Fedor received 1st Place votes from every voter except one, who voted for Randy Couture.
-Randy Couture, due to his retirement, was left off 4 voters ballots.
-Barnett's absense did not effect voters minds, as he was ranked third, fourth or fifth on every ballot but 1.

-Rampage was the unanimous first place vote-getter.
-Wanderlei Silva was not ranked on one ballot. Jadine went unranked on two.
-Shogun received 5 votes to be the #2 Ranked LHW, Forrest Griffin received 3 such votes.

-Anderson Silva did not get all the first place votes. One voter put Dan Henderson at the top spot.
-Dan Henderson is Ranked at both MW and LHW.
-Misaki was left off 6 ballots, despite his KO win over Akiyama.

-Shinya Aoki made his way into the WW Rankings, having faught there and at LW in the past.
-Champion Matt Serra did not receive a single 1st place vote. In fact, one voter gave him the 10th spot in the Rankings.
-GSP was a unanimous #1, joining Rampage.

-The LW's were the most volatile to rank, with 19 different fighters receiving votes...the most by far.
-4 different fighters received 1st place votes: Gomi, Sherk, Aoki, Bj Penn.
-Due to no significant wins at LW recently, Penn was left of 9 ballots, but still cracked the Top 10.
-Aoki made his way into a second Division, joining Henderson as the only fighters Ranked in 2 Divisions.
